What Not to Wear - Season 3 - Eps 4: Melanie Lapatton
Melanie, 44, is a former world champion ballroom dancer who now runs the Dance Times Square Studio in New York City. Vogue magazine has described this studio as ""the most fashionable place to learn to dance in New York."" While the venue may be fashionable, Melanie certainly isn't. She left fashion behind when she stopped competing, and now wears ill-fitting clothes — some too tight and some too baggy. And worst of all, she only wears one color — black! In this special episode of What Not to Wear, Melanie was surprised live on air! Clinton and Stacy will have one week to bring the sparkle and color back into her wardrobe, and to convince monochromatic Melanie that stepping off the competitive dance floor doesn't have to mean stepping off the fashion catwalk.

Synopsis
Friends and family members nominate a candidate that they consider poorly dressed and ask the show to make over the "fashion victim." Fashion Police Stacy London and her partner ambush the candidate and make them an offer-- they are given a $5000.00 budget for a new wardrobe, which they must purchase in New York City boutiques over the course of two days, but only on the condition that they allow Stacy & her partner to critique, and in most cases throw out, their existing wardrobe.
